Spinning energy wheels your body insists are real and science insists are vibes.

means One of the body's supposed energy centers believed, in yogic and tantric traditions, to govern specific physical and spiritual functions.

from From Sanskrit 'chakra,' literally 'wheel' or 'circle' — the same root that gives English words borrowed from the Indo-European 'kwel-' family tied to turning and rotation. In Hindu and Buddhist tantric texts, these 'wheels' were mapped along the spine as spinning centers of subtle energy, long before the word spun into Western wellness culture as shorthand for whatever feels blocked that day.
